In 2013, Jim, wife Robin, and sons Justin and Jeremy opened a new location for Jimmie James BBQ, at 5048 State Route 104 in Scriba, N.Y., just a few miles east of Oswego Speedway. Known for their delicious menu of smoked treats, Jimmie James is currently open Wednesday – Sunday for sit down service, or speedy delivery. In the coming weeks, hours will be 7 days a week, and include the addition of a liquor license for diners enjoyment. A party room is also available for private parties.
"Jim and I have been friends since high school, and I'm very gratified to have Jimmie James as a teammate this year", said Andrews. "We've had a lot of laughs together over the years, and hopefully we'll get a few more in victory lane in 2014!"
"I've always been involved in racing at Oswego Speedway one way or another, and we think Jay can help us spread the word about our family restaurant, and our great food", added Guyle. "We look forward to seeing a lot of race fans this year!" A recent strong showing at Oswego Wingfest was an excellent showcase for the family's wing recipes.
J.J. Andrews has been racing in the small block supermodified division since 1997, and currently sits in 5th place in all-time points.
